More information:

I mainly stick to trad, rarely sport, never ice, alpine, or bouldering. My home crag is Eldo, where I'm confident leading a bunch of 10b (but only have a "reasonable" chance of making a 10c clean while following). Occasionally, I head out to the Creek (leading 10), Vedauwoo (5.2!), or Lumpy (5.9). Weather permitting, I prefer full days (my best day in 2014 was leading 10 pitches of 5.10 in Eldo). I don't mind repeating routes, but I never "siege". I'm a bit slow when on-siting.

Regarding safety, I tend to be a bit obnoxious, but you will likely not notice this while climbing with me. So, here's my take on safety: Redundancy, redundancy, redundancy. If you think you have a hands-free belay device, please bring the manufacturer's manual to prove it. I do not eat, drink, take pictures, play with a phone, or anything else while belaying you. And I require the same of you. No matter what kind of fancy belay device you have. I'm very conservative while leading. Taking two lead falls in a season is a "big" season for me.
